Black Box has announced its line of KVM switches has been added to the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) product compliant list.
All switches have been tested and certified, meeting the strict requirements of the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) 3.0, the highest Common Criteria Level for Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Switching Version 3.0.
The new Black Box Secure KVM line includes NIAP 3.0-certified secure KVM matrix switches and a KVM protector.
Altogether, they isolate each computer source with shared peripheral access to protect classified information against accidental transfer, unauthorised access or compromise of data, making them suitable for military and defense applications.
Black Box Secure KVM Switches are equipped with two, four, eight or 16 computer connections, supporting user consoles with up to four monitors. The Secure KVM Matrix Switches allow two or four different users to access four or eight different network enclaves with varying levels of security such as SIPRNet and NIPRNet. The KVM Protector locks down external peripherals and ensures data from audio, USB and video flows in a single direction, protecting valuable peripherals. Additionally, the Secure KVM Multi-Viewer allows end users to see up to four different secure sources on a single monitor.
Regardless of user location, their experience is as if their keyboard, monitor and mouse are connected directly to the CPU or server they’re accessing with Secure KVM Switches from Black Box. The secure KVM line also boasts resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD for HDMI or DisplayPort video and dual-link DVI-I video, while stereo audio, USB and PS/2-keyboard and mouse meet customer requirements for any type of application.
One of the new Secure KVM Switches from Black Box even allows for monitoring of four computer sources on a single screen. In addition, Black Box has released KVM switches for operators that require high situational awareness and instant switching across multiple monitors. And a KVM Protector that prevents data leakage and intrusion through shared peripherals like printers, projectors or audio systems.
Black Box NIAP 3.0 Secure KVM Switches help users with limited space maintain a safe and clean workspace by letting them access multiple, remote computers from one keyboard and mouse and up to four monitors.
